RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Andy Lutomirski 2014-05-06 17:23:36 UTC 
My query script thinks that subscription-manager has a script or trigger that directly enables a systemd unit using 'systemctl enable'.  It probably should not.  Please update this packages to use the macroized scriptlet (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd).

If your package has an exception from FESCo permitting it to enable
itself, please make sure that the service in question is listed in the
appropriate preset file.

There is a general exception described here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Starting_services_by_default

If your package falls under the general exception, then it is possible
that no change is required.  Nevertheless, if you are relying on the
exception, please make sure that your rpm scripts are sensible.  The
exception is:

In addition, any service which does not remain persistent on the system (aka, it "runs once then goes away"), does not listen to incoming connections during initialization, and does not require configuration to be functional may be enabled by default (but is not required to do so). An example of "runs once then goes away" service is iptables.

Given that this issue can affect Fedora 20 users who install your
package as a dependency, this bug should be fixed in Fedora 20 and
Rawhide.
Comment 1 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 17:01:04 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2015-08-13 14:02:20 UTC 
Pinged redhat-release-server component about that side of it at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1163968
Comment 3 William Poteat 2016-09-26 18:16:57 UTC 
systemctl commands removed. Issue will only be resolved when the preset file has been updated by rel-eng.
Comment 7 Rehana 2017-05-02 10:51:13 UTC 
Retested with ;

# subscription-manager version
server type: This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.19.10-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.19.5-1.el7


Demonstrating that with older subscription-manager packages(subscription-manager: 1.17.15-1.el7 and python-rhsm: 1.17.9-1.el7) the rpm scriptlets contains /bin/systemctl enable commands 

# rpm -q --scripts subscription-manager | grep /bin/systemctl
    /bin/systemctl enable rhsmcertd.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
    /bin/systemctl daemon-reload >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
    /bin/systemctl try-restart rhsmcertd.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

with the latest subscription-manager packages from brew (subscription-manager: 1.19.10-1.el7 and python-rhsm: 1.19.5-1.el7 ) /bin/systemctl enable commands are removed

# rpm -q --scripts subscription-manager | grep /bin/systemctl
